Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCOD-Verify helps reduce fake COD orders and RTO losses. When a customer places a COD order, they receive a WhatsApp OTP to verify their phone number. Unverified orders are automatically held and canceled after 30 minutes. A reminder is sent at 10 minutes to give customers a final chance to verify. This ensures only genuine buyers complete orders, reducing failed deliveries and shipping costs.
CodShield cuts cash-on-delivery RTO losses by confirming intent before dispatch. Each COD order gets a risk score, WhatsApp YES/NO from your number, and Approve/Cancel in one Admin queue. Set COD by order value: allow, confirm, collect deposits with proof in Files, or hide COD at checkout. Import courier return CSVs to flag repeat problem numbers. See RTO Saved on your dashboard.
